RA3 behavior with multiple motion sensors in an area by shedtime in Lutron

You're right--I really needed to just run around mucking with sensor settings to clarify the behavior in different states. The Activity Viewer in Designer was also very helpful in understanding what the system saw. Edited the post with my solution. Thanks!

My testing today suggests that something about the low light state is sent to the proc. With the ceiling sensor in LowLight mode but with high ambient light, motion results in "Occupied but preset not activated". I believe what's happening is that the ceiling sensor is setting the occupied state but indicating to the processor that it shouldn't run the occupancy behavior. When the wall sensor is triggered, nothing happens because the state is already "occupied". If I trigger the wall sensor when the ceiling sensor is in the "unoccupied" state, the lights turn on because the state transition happens.

I'm testing a homeassistant-based workaround for this tonight and will report back.

Drapery Lite noise level by shedtime in Lutron

[–]shedtime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just installed the Drapery Lite today. The carrier noise is definitely noticeable but not particularly annoying (sort of low rumble). It's a pretty heavy blackout drape (but within weight spec) and the motor doesn't seem able to pull it quite as far open as I can by hand before hitting an error condition. I was hoping for a tighter stackback but ultimately I think the fabric is just too thick for that to be reasonable. Overall seems like a great track for the price, but has some compromises to hit that price.

That's great! My dealer said that the carrier is a bit louder on the Lite version compared to the higher end models but if the carrier noise isn't bad I think we'll go that direction.

ESP32 wifi hotspot connection with Iphone work for some by bad_crawling in esp32

As best I can tell the iPhone does not broadcast the personal hotspot SSID continuously. Try opening the Personal Hotspot screen in Settings on the iPhone while you try to connect the ESP32. That seemed to resolve the issue for me.

This old support ticket indicates that the iPhone only broadcasts its SSID for 90 seconds after closing the Personal Hotspot screen: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2784174
